“Knock, knock,” Mrs. Peters stuck her head around Scott’s door frame. “You all ready for Christmas break?” she asked.

“Am I ever,” Scott said, reaching out to turn off his monitor as the computer shut down. “I’m ready for a lot less drama and intrigue, that’s for sure.”

Mrs. Peters laughed. “Me too,” she said. “Well, I just stopped by to say enjoy your break and to give you this.” She held out a small object, which Scott took, then promptly burst out laughing. It was a Christmas ornament: a miniature Snoopy dressed up as Sherlock Holmes.
